We are deeply saddened to share the passing of our dear friend and former board member, Tina LoBosco, after her brave battle with cancer.

Tina was a true force of nature—innovative, dedicated, and a joy to work with across so many JSJBF festivals and projects. Her bright light will be missed immensely.

To read our full tribute to Tina or to contribute to the family's GoFundMe for medical expenses, please visit https://jsjbf.org/in-memoriam-tina-lobosco/
